Impact of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Yield and Interaction Effects in 10 Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Varieties Cultivated in the Southern USA

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study evaluated the effects of different fertilizer treatments on the growth performance and yield of multiple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) varieties with diverse flesh colors, including orange, white, and purple. The primary objective was to investigate the interaction between fertilizer type and varietal response to identify optimal ...

Assessment of the roles and farmer-preferred traits of sweetpotato in a crop-livestock farming system in Rwanda: implications for breeding dual-purpose varieties

Open Agriculture, 2020
In Rwanda, sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) is a highly valued crop in a crop-livestock mixed farming system. The objective of this study was to assess the role of sweetpotato in the crop-livestock farming system, to identify farmer-preferred ...

Horizontal gene transfer contributes to plant evolution : the case of Agrobacterium T-DNAs [PDF]

, 2017
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can be defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism without being its offspring. HGT is common in the microbial world including archaea and bacteria, where HGT mechanisms are widely understood and ...

Genotype × Environment Interaction in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.): Assessing Stability of Yield per Plant Across Six Diverse Environments

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Genotype × environment (G × E) interaction is a key factor influencing the selection of stable and high‐yielding sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) cultivars across diverse agroecological zones. The complexity of G × E interaction often leads to biased yield estimates in multienvironment trials, hindering phenotypic selection and impede breeding ...

Understanding innovation: The development and scaling of orange-fleshed sweetpotato in major African food systems

Agricultural Systems, 2020
The development and scaling of orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) during the past 25 years is a case study of a disruptive innovation to address a pressing need – the high levels of vitamin A deficiency among children under five years of age in sub ...

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

Hexaploid sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) may not be a true type to either auto- or allopolyploid.

PLoS ONE, 2020
To better define the sweetpotato polyploidy, we sought to reconstruct phylogenies of its subgenomes based on hybridization networks that could trace reticulate lineages of differentiated homoeolog triplets of multiple single-copy genes. In search of such

Deployment and analysis of instance segmentation algorithm for in‐field yield estimation of sweet potatoes

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Shape estimation of sweet potato (SP) storage roots is inherently challenging due to their varied size and shape characteristics. Even measuring “simple” metrics, such as length and diameter, requires significant time investments either directly in‐field or afterward using automated graders.
